Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone, I hope that you all had a wonderful day. We had a lovely Christmas day at Greg, Lynn and Thomas’s house in Long Island. We had a delicious Christmas lunch and Lynn even made her own traditional Christmas pudding! The weather was cloudy and wet in Long Island, but no snow. There was a very small pile of snow in the front yard, all that remains of the snow we had a few weeks ago. We are hoping that the snow comes soon, I know my New York friends will curse me for that comment LOL. The boys were very pleased with what Santa had left for them. Dylan is feeling so great and playing like his used to before he was diagnosed. It is so wonderful to see. His appetite is better than ever and you can just see how happy he is to have daddy and Cain around. The diarrhea is manageable at this stage, it started Friday night but seems to be under control with the Loperamide I started him on again. Clinic was closed today but tomorrow we start on the trial again and will continue until Saturday. Thank you to everyone for the wonderful Christmas cards and gifts sent to our family. This year has been the hardest year our family has ever had to face, the kindness and support from friends, family and strangers throughout the year is what has helped us to continue, thank you.
